Hi Tartar21,

Hmm ... I don't think it's all related to a DL 757 here ...

- Delay of 2 hours: can happen with any plane, including a NW A330

- The old seats: ok, yes, that is a factor of the plane (but AF still has planes with ashtrays too ...)

- TV screens in the ceiling ... well, what's on the NW 747 in Y? Or the KL 747? And that's just two examples.

- Injured child ... doesn't sound like DL's fault, and I certainly wouldn't blame a poor, old plane for that.

- Disappearing FA .. ok, you find some of those. I remember a trip in NW WBC where the FA on my aisle disappeared a lot more than the FA in the other aisle. Bad apples can be found everywhere.

- JFK ATC problems ... well, that's the NY area. Having spent 45 minutes waiting to take off at both JFK and EWR, I'm not surprised.

So, ok, old seats and overhead TV.

I'm not defending DL here, but I think that someone could provide the same analysis about some of the NW planes.

Cheers,
